A lot of store owners look at Shopify, Amazon, Walmart, or other marketplace payouts and think that is revenue. But once you account for product costs, payment processing, shipping, freight, returns, storage, fees, ad spend, and reserves, the real numbers can look very different.

Parag breaks down how to build a clean financial foundation, why you should track top-line revenue, bottom-line profit, and cash flow every week, and when it makes sense to use ecommerce accounting software or outsourced bookkeeping.
